title: Gallbladder hernia into the foramen of Winslow: CT findings.
abstract: We present a case of gallbladder hernia into the foramen of Winslow. During the diagnosis of hernia, ultrasonography, computed tomography and intravenous computed tomography, cholangiography of the abdomen were performed. Ultrasonography detected gallstone, but did not provide sufficient information to diagnose gallbladder hernia. Computed tomography yielded the correct diagnosis. At laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the diagnosis was confirmed.
